In a memoir spanning decades of artistic risk-taking, Genesis P-Orridge, the inventor of "industrial music," founder of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, and world-renowned �ne artist takes us on a journey through creativity and destruction, pleasure and pain.

It's for an audience that cannot and will not be ignored. Nonbinary has far-reaching potential because of Genesis's remarkable body of work.
